Painting garage doors

The contractor for Student Works Painting was at the Markham Home Show scouting for summer business. I chatted with this nice, pleasant student and then realized that my garage doors required painting. It was overdue by a couple of years. I made an appointment for him to come over and give me a quote on the job. He arrived promptly at the specified time dressed appropriately for earning someone's business. He was professional in his explanation of what the job required,. He was very organized and gave me a written quote for three possible solutions to the painting of the doors. I chose one of the options. He was credible (I happen to know a thing or two about painting). The work is scheduled to be done at the completion of his school term. I feel good about helping a student who has take the initiative to head up a summer painting job.

I hired Jeff and his crew to stain the exterior of 2 of my properties in Meaford last summer. Jeff and his painters were very professional and did an excellent job in a timely manner. His price was competitive and I would not hesitate to recommend him to my neighbours and associates.

Painting of my bedrooms and bathrooms

This company painted my 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in the early Spring 2011. They did a good job and we were satisfied with the results. They were also very professional and fast. I would recommend them.

We hired Jeff Hollingsworth – Student Works and his crew, to paint the exterior walls of our house and garage in the summer of 2010. We were impressed with Jeff’s professional presentation and attitude. He promised us a date to start and we were pleased when he actually started the job earlier.

Our house has high ceilings with a cathedral roof. The peak of the house is higher than a three story house. The job was completed safely, on-time and to our satisfaction.

Jeff is an extremely hard working individual with great work ethics and very pleasant personality. We would hire him again with no hesitation and would recommend his team to others.

Yours sincerely,

Our main motivation for going with Student Works Painting was first your experience in the industry, second your quick response to phone messages, emails and meeting, third you are your business, and you back your services with an excellent warranty and lastly your services were competively priced.

I was not sure what my role was throughout the whole process since this was my first time as home owner having my home painted by a third party so it was a learning experience.

I am happy that we went with Student Works Painting for our home exterior painting.

You held true to your mission statement of customer satisfaction being a priority. All my customer questions and needs were addressed in a very professional and efficient manner.

Thank you for looking out for the customer and helping us bring my eye-soar of a house back to life again!

Under the direction of the project manager, Chris Anderson, the crew who painted the exterior of my home did an outstanding job and were totally cooperative with my wishes and respectful of my ideas and my property. Mine is an older house and posed quite a few challenges. The quality of work performed by these hardworking young persons is second to none. I highly recommend them - and what an opportunity to help a student with their education! Thanks Student Works!

Exterior painting

We had an absolutely nightmarish experience with Student Works and I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone. It would take far too long to tell the whole story, but let me summarize with the following: 1) they did not start when they said they would (they were about 6 wks late); 2) they did NOT do proper prep work (scraping, sanding and priming) as promised in the contract (I even caught them painting directly over MOULD in one spot, without ANY sanding or priming); 3) the job took about twice as long as they said it would; 4) they painted some surfaces that were not meant to be painted; 5) communication was terrible; 6) their claim that they have conscientious , carefully-trained painters is a LOAD OF CRAP.
Their quote was by far the cheapest, and now I know why: they underbid to get jobs and then THEY CUT WHATEVER CORNERS THEY HAVE TO in order make a profit. Trust me, pay the slightly higher price and save yourself the headaches. I know I learned my lesson.

Jeffrey and his team were responsible for the preparation of the entire exterior of my cottage as well as the deck. Then two coats of paint were applied, completely transforming the exterior, giving it a fresh new look.

Jeffrey and his team preformed these tasks in a professional and timely manor. His close attention to detail has resulted in meticulous and accurate work. His strong interpersonal and communication skills have made dealing with him a wonderful experience. Jeffery worked around my schedule and budget to ensure everything fit my needs.

Jeffrey went over the top in every aspect of the job. I was extremely pleased with the work completed by Jeffrey and his team, and would highly recommend him for employment.
